Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
nitro_enclaves: Use get_user_pages_unlocked() call to handle mmap assert<br />
<br />
After commit 5b78ed24e8ec ("mm/pagemap: add mmap_assert_locked()<br />
annotations to find_vma*()"), the call to get_user_pages() will trigger<br />
the mmap assert.<br />
<br />
static inline void mmap_assert_locked(struct mm_struct *mm)<br />
{<br />
lockdep_assert_held(&mm->mmap_lock);<br />
VM_BUG_ON_MM(!rwsem_is_locked(&mm->mmap_lock), mm);<br />
}<br />

<br />
Use get_user_pages_unlocked() when setting the enclave memory regions.<br />
That&#39;s a similar pattern as mmap_read_lock() used together with<br />
get_user_pages().
